12 Recent Stories of Self Defense With Firearms

Often times, I get questions by well meaning people asking me âDo you really think that the average citizen could defend themselves against anÂ armed criminal?â

The answer is yes, every single time.

See, what most people donât realize is that self defense shootings happen all the time. The problem is that these instances arenât shown on the national news, or even local news for that matter. Â Most of the time you will be lucky to read a small postage-sized report in a local newspaper.

So, for the time being, every week I will compile a report and post it here of every self defense shooting I can find in the US.

One of four men arrested in connection with a botched home invasion in Chanceford Township where shots were fired but no one was injured pleaded guilty Friday in York County court to attempted robbery.

Zachary D. Underwood, 18, of Harrisburg, and three others forced their way into a home in the 600 block of Salem Church Road shortly after midnight on July 12 demanding drugs and money, according to police reports.

The occupants wrestled a shotgun away from one of the men and one of the intruders fired four shots into a wall.

A man attempting to break into a Cleveland, Ohio home was shot by the homeowner.

It just so happens that the same homeowner shot and killed another burglar at the same Portage Avenue house less than two months earlier.

The first incident happened in late November. The burglar, 43-year-old David Fletcher, was attempting to break into a home owned by a man neighbors call âMike.â Neighbors say that Mike bought a half a dozen homes on the block to remodel, but trouble soon followed.

Portage Avenue is plagued with abandoned homes.

âEverybody has this problem with people breaking in these abandoned houses,â said neighbor Ben Blair in November.

In the November incident, Feltcher was wielding a knife as he attempted to break into Mikeâs home. Feltcher was killed.

Investigators believe the men entered Heverâs Family Meats, 3307 Cleveland Ave. NW, at 12:07 p.m. Wednesday with their weapons drawn. Davis said they attempted to take money from the cash register and, during the robbery, one of the robbers fired several rounds.

âFire was immediately returned by an employee. A gun battle ensued inside the store,â Davis said.

At some point, the robbers ran out the front door, jumped into the car and sped away.

Mercy Medical Center video shows one of the men soon after being dropped off at the hospital and the car leaving, Davis said.

Bush was found there with multiple gunshot wounds.

âA short time later, we believe the second suspect checked himself in at Affinity Medical Center in Massillon with at least three gunshot wounds,â Davis said. That man was identified as McLendon.

Police went to the 100 block of Avenue S around 5:30 a.m. after receiving a âburglary in processâ call from the homeowner, said Lubbock Police Department spokesman, Sgt. Jonathan Stewart

Stewart said two men attempted to steal a television from the backyard and fled after the homeowner came out and shot at them.

Stewart said the number of shots fired hadnât been determined and because the two men had not been located, it was unknown if one of them was hit.

âIf thereâs reasonable evidence the homeowner shot at the men to protect his home, he will not be convicted of any crime,â Stewart said. âNothing is pending against the homeowner at this time.â

A man reportedly trying to break into several homes in Phoenix was shot and killed by a homeowner. It happened around 2 a.m. Wednesday near 28th Avenue and Acoma.

Neighbors spotted a white man in his 30s going door to door, apparently trying to break into homes. Witnesses say he attempted to get into at least four homes.

As the man tried to get into one of the houses, the homeowner came out with a gun. When he spotted the suspect trying to break into the bedroom belonging to his daughters, ages 4 and 7, he started yelling.

A Galva man says he was defending his home when he shot two intruders and was himself shot twice late Friday night.

Dustin Brock was treated for what he believes was a .410 shotgun wound to his chest and a large caliber bullet wound in his hand that he received while struggling with intruders on his kitchen floor at 417 E. Division St., Galva.

Police received a 911 call around 11 p.m. Friday regarding shots fired. Brock said it all happened very fast. There are bullet holes in his kitchen wall and floor.

When officers arrived they were met by an employee of the business. The employeeÂ advised officers that prior to their arrival an unknown intruder had broken into the business whileÂ the employee was there. There was an altercation inside the business and as a result the intruderÂ was shot. The intruder ran out of the business and collapsed. Paramedics were summonsed to theÂ scene, at which time, the intruder was pronounced deceased. The intruder has been identified asÂ Byron Keith Phillip, 30 of Chester, Maryland.

We believe that the world has reached a turning point as the corporate funded and controlled mainline media has become obsolete as humans are now seeking the truth. Intellihub.comâ˘ strives and will continue to uphold itâs duties to inform humanity of what is really taking place in the world around them. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

The NRA magazine has about a dozen articles a month like these called the armed citizen. it is way more common than you think and that is only the reported cases. I find it really interesting that with all the data available on shootings that it is impossible to easily find how many murders with firearms are drug related. Or how about a ratio of armed robbery and thwarted robberies, of course it would probably make the gun ownership case stronger. The UK has a low murder rate with guns but the highest per capita violent crime rate IN THE WORLD.

To all the responsbile gun owners in the US … keep the faith and good work. To all those that have needed to use your weapons in self defense … I am sorry our country has become such a cesspool full of human waste. I am glad you still had the right to defend yourself and did.

I am 100% pro 2nd amendment as well as support resonable and effective gun laws that are enforceable.

I am against more redundant and restrictive laws because TPTB are not capable of handling our current gun rights responsibly now. I do believe that more laws and enforcement will only lead to even more laws and enforcement until the 2nd is nothing but history. If you dont believe that just google Diane Feinstein and Joe Bidens proposed gun restrictions. They are not hidding what they what to do. The more TPTB try to “protect” us from anything the less rights we seem to have.

I hope to never have to use my weapon in self defense but dont ever doubt I will if necessary. And for those that choose to proceed unarmed, good luck. When criminals come for you, your kids or your possessions lets hope they are as soft hearted as you are.

Oh and dont ever forget, 911 is never busy and the cops are always waiting just around the corner to assist you when you absolutely need some help right this second. If you believe all that manure I have this little life insurance policy in your name I would like you to sign please. I can always use a little cash.

Let’s not forget the animal (furry kind) threat. The family in Massachusetts that were attacked by a bobcat that was in the garage. The cat attacked everyone in the house and they had to shoot it.
